"Let's Draw A March Medley!" - Children's Drawing Workshops at Rockland Public Library 2011
Rockland - This March children will draw Iditarod Dog Sled Races, Mardi Gras masks, St. Patrick's Day, Spring's arrival with birds and flowers, and the circus, at Rockland Public Library's ongoing drawing workshops led by Catinka Knoth. Participants follow along with Knoth as she demonstrates how to draw a variety of subjects for March. Husky dogs, mushers and dog sled teams, are motifs from the Iditarod Race in Alaska. The class may also experiment with papercuts of dog teams. Mardi Gras masks and motifs give the chance to draw colorful decorative designs. St. Patrick's Day has it's shamrocks, St. Patrick, leprechauns, pots of gold, rainbows, and Celtic designs. The arrival of Spring gives inspiration to draw daffodils, crocuses tulips, spring birds, and kites. Traditionally March was when 'the circus comes to town', bringing acrobats, animals, clowns, and tents to draw. .
Sponsored by local patrons, Wendy and Keith Wellin, the workshops, for age 6 and up, and the young at heart, are free and open to the public. Children age 10 and under should be accompanied by an adult. All materials are provided.
